5.0 out of 5 stars
I never thought I would be working with electricity!,
By Spicoli (Oak Ridge, NJ) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ultimate Guide to Wiring: Complete Projects for the Home (Paperback)
I found this book easy to follow. It did not lay the technical jargon on too thick. And all the terminology used was explained thoroughly. I was able to make simple electrical repairs, even though I've never worked with wiring before. I really appreciated how they included all the safety measures you need to take while working with electricity.

This review is from: Ultimate Guide to Wiring: Complete Projects for the Home (Paperback)
I bought this so I could install my ceiling fans without feeling like I had no idea what I was doing. This book was pretty handy because it's not overly dry and gets straight to the point, and after the first couple chapters, you can skip to only the parts you need. There are plenty of pictures, and the illustrations make good use of color to show which wires go where. There's enough variety of examples that you could adapt their guidance to just about any situation that may arise in your home improvement endeavors. I would say there's almost enough info, but not quite, for someone building a home from scratch. But this is more than adequate for an ordinary homeowner.
